I apologize, it has been a month since I last shared some thoughts. The month went by quickly! A month of growth, daily stuff and life lessons from God. Here in the wild west, where we have a bar or brewery on every block downtown, Spring has finally arrived. Longer days, fewer blankets on the beds and birds singing. This winter gal has to admit there are a few perks to Spring. My RA has been flaring up and bringing forth a few new symptoms. Not fun ones either like weight loss and thick curly hair. Nope. I get itchy rashes all over. So, we add Benedryl to my pill count. RA is one of the yucky things in my life and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. I grew up listening to bands like 4Him. On one of their old albums (Face the Nation) is a song simply titled, "Why". It is about asking God why some people are forced to go through so much yuck. I'm not typically a why me person, but that song has always stuck with me....
